Pros

One of the best reasons to work at Dotloop is the culture- the people are amazing, and the company encourages networking through plenty of get togethers, happy hours, and volunteer events. Our parent company, Zillow Group, recently joined the equal pay pledge for women, and even has its own LGBTQ community page on Slack (the company instant messenger). Additional pros are excellent benefits, including an insanely good health plan, free access to Lynda for online learning, weekly guest speakers, and a fun trip to Seattle for the company Christmas party :)

Cons

Pay is a little less than average, but with opportunities for yearly raises, stock options, and virtually free benefits- it all balances out.

Pros

Working at dotloop has a variety of pros: the culture, the benefits, the laid back yet professional environment, and the opportunity to move up within the company. Being a "looper" you are given the tools and opportunity to grow within the company and management is more than willing to help you find your niche. Along with being able to move up within the company, the health benefits of working at dotloop are excellent as well. Benefits don't only come in your health care package at dotloop though, extra perks are always given to loopers for their hard work such as a free snack bar, a fully paid for holiday trip to Seattle, pool and ping pong tables, and a catered lunch almost every week. These extra perks let us know our hard work is appreciated and makes coming to work pretty enjoyable.

Cons

If working in support you will be expected to work one weekend day. While giving up your Saturday or Sunday isn't ideal, if a customer service representative ever needs off management is always more than willing to work with your schedule.

Pros

Really dedicated team, passionate about the product, a really great product compared to everything else on the market. Great benefits, great perks within the office. Relaxed atmosphere.

Cons

As part of squash there needed to be someone to take billing calls since you aren't trained on that. Also someone in management needs to take calls of irate users, it's not fair for squash to be berated for nothing. That will drive you to quit really quickly so line something up. The office is a little cliquey too, so be prepared to play the game.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm glad you liked some of the things that make Dotloop an awesome place to work like the benefits, office perks and relaxed atmosphere. We are very proud of our internal promotion rate, some departments being 100% comprised of internal growth. Again, we greatly appreciate your feedback and we will use this to continue to improve.

Pros

Training was nice, but not realistic. Provided snacks. This was especially useful on days employees forgot to pack snacks/lunches. Physical benefits were amazing.

Cons

I was not prepared to get my ear chewed off by customers. Training was unrealistic. I lost respect for the company when I found out that the squash team was "on their own". I felt like I was thrown onto the phones without proper knowledge. Management didn't care what type of call you were on or how bad you were getting yelled at, you were responsible for handling that call even though you might not have any knowledge of what the customer is asking for. That said, a lot of calls aren't terrible. But when you do get one, be prepared to handle it alone with no guidance. Like someone else had said, the office is very cliquey. I did not feel welcome. While training, I felt as though I was a burden to some.

Thank you for providing feedback about your past experience at dotloop. We take all constructive feedback seriously and have been looking closely into this recently, including surveys with all Support employees and "skip level" meetings to gather feedback without their manager present. While it's clear that the management transition in Support was not without flaws for some past employees, we have addressed each concern raised and feedback from our current team is overwhelmingly positive. Thanks again. Austin, Founder & GM

Pros

Culture; the mentality in the office is still very "startup" there is a passion for what we do and where we are going. I became part of the office after the Zillow Group acquisition and I think it is a great partnership, the core values of each company melded and now both companies are benefiting from the partnership. People; Great culture attracts amazing people. dotloop employees are some of the most passionate and forward thinking individuals I've come across. Leadership is very empowering and provide great feedback and welcome suggestions even from day one. When there is still that startup mindset everyone wants to see how big the company can grow. There is every opportunity to grow within the company and you are acknowledged for a job well down. It is hard to have a bad day at dotloop as everyone is very supportive and encouraging. Benefits; I personally took a large pay cut coming to dotloop but my work life balance and happiness in this working environment are worth more than any monetary value my previous employer could offer. The office provides snacks, coffee, and catered lunches (at least once a week). Free healthcare, retirement, stock options, and group activities make it clear that Zillow Group is heavily invested in maintaining and attracting the best talent. Environment; The office is a great space, and only getting better, even after Zillow Group purchased dotloop Austin Allison decided to more than double the office space in Cincinnati. We love this city and I love that dotloop decided to stay and reinvest, the offices are downtown without the hassle of finding parking or dealing with the majority of traffic.

Cons

Cons; Entitlement; this isn't a problem just at dotloop or Zillow Group but more with the workforce in general, at dotloop some of the more senior employees can seem jaded or disgruntled about decisions that leadership/management has made and it can cause a decline in moral. Parking; this is really a problem with Longworth Hall in which dotloop has its offices, Longworth is the "official tailgating" for the Bengal's and on home games, the parking lot is rented out. If you have to work on Sunday it is nearly impossible to find parking, often times getting harassed by the parking attendants, and then the drunk fans tailgating at 8am. (This isn't truly dotloop/Zillow's problem but Longworth Hall should show more accommodations to its long-term tenets who have to work on the weekends.)

Thank you for sharing this feedback. It's great to hear about your experiences with our people, culture and work environment. Ironically, I recently finished reviewing our employee survey results which also reinforced that people and culture are a strength for dotloop! Your constructive feedback is also appreciated. We are already in the process of increasing investments in leadership training for all managers through the introduction of our Leadership Playbook, which aligns with your advice (recognize and reward top performers and hold low performers accountable). In fact, I just had a session today where we spent time on this very topic. I'll look into the parking issue right away. Thanks again. Austin, Founder & GM.

Thank you for this fantastic review. It is really great to hear that you highlight people, culture and benefits as top Pros. As for the comment about us being open 7 days a week - we do this because our customers work 7 days per week and we want to be available when they need us most. That said, if you have suggestions for how we can better rotate weekend shifts amongst the team, we would welcome that feedback. Thanks again! Austin, Founder & GM.
